Re: EFI: Booting from other (not the first) GPT partition possible? How? It's an Apple :-O
Thank you Gonzalo. Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing: I was already able to boot OpenBSD in BIOS legacy mode. What I want to achieve is booting OpenBSD current with the new EFI OpenBSD boot loader. Are you sure that following the tutorial you mentioned can be of any help to do this? I will be happy to get enlightened if I am just missing the point. :) Regards Marcel > Hello, > > I'm kinda at the same step, but in a macbookpro12,1 > > I resize my OSX partition, burn a install58.fs on a usb stick, boot > holding ALT, install OpenBSD on the part of resize partition, and then > follow jcs@ tutorial: > > https://gist.github.com/jcs/5573685 > > Now, "El Capitan" have like a 'Secure Level' thing that you can do the > step Mac OS X Encryption -> 3-6.

FYI: How to use Intel GPU of MacBookPro8,2 via EFI boot
With some EFI boot loader and kernel modifications it is possible to disable the power-hungry Radeon (by accessing GMUX) and use the Intel GPU of a MacBookPro8,2 with OpenBSD 5.9 snapshot. Details: https://photorhino.wordpress.com/2016/02/03/openbsd-on-a-macbookpro82-with-intel-gpu/
vnconfig: /dev/rsvnd0c: Device not configured
Hi everybody, I wonder if anybody knows a solution for this: I had an encrypted partition working wonderfully in my system. my /etc/fstab is: /dev/sdXX /dev/svnd0c vnd rw,noauto,-k 0 0 /dev/svnd0c /mnt/ZZ ffs rw,noauto,nodev 0 0 so I used to do: mount /dev/sdXX Encryption key: enter my key and it would work. Now (after upgrading to 5.0 from the previous release) it returns: mount_vnd: /dev/rsvnd0c: Device not configured I try to configure it again: vnconfig -ck svnd0 /dev/sdXX but it returns again: vnconfig: /dev/rsvnd0c: Device not configured This is probably due to the fact that I overwrote the old /etc folder but I don't know where the problem is... Thanks in advance, Marc
Re: vnconfig: /dev/rsvnd0c: Device not configured
Thx! I renamed svnd to vnd and it worked like a charm. PS. I think I read "vnd(4) removed," oh how bad for them.. svnd will still rock... why should I care to read further? leaving "svnd(4) renamed to vnd(4)" in a world of disregard and darkness. Sorry... PS2. 5.0 rocks for me, it's a professional bitch. On 1/15/2012 8:58 PM, Tobias Ulmer wrote: It's in the fine manual: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade50.html#vnd

Java is a deal-breaker for me as I use it all day every day for work. What I've done is taken a tar of the linux version, and untarred it in openbsd. I have turned on linux emulation by modifying the variable in /etc/sysctl.conf, and I've mounted the /proc "filesystem". I have also pkg_added redhat-base8.xxx. However, whenever I run java, I get a "Can't detect initial thread stack location - find_vma failed" error. This is for sun's jdk 1.5.06 as well as one of the newer 1.6 versions. IBM's jdk1.4 says it cannot read or write (not sure exactly anymore) to /proc/. I've tried running all three versions as root to check for permission errors, but it makes no difference. I've googled for hours trying to find a solution, but can't seem to fix it. I really don't want to download the source for java and compile... I am on dialup so every byte counts. A little while ago I tried java on netbsd and got it working through linux emulation as well. I had problems with netbsd so it didn't stick around, but I believe that java on bsd through emulation should be possible; probably just an oversight somwhere on my part. I didn't try any linux 1.5/1.6 jdk, but perhaps you missed something for your linux emulation? read man compat_linux, perhaps it helps. the other options you have is having someone mail you the source on cd, or use kaffe (don't know how useful it is for your purposes). --knitti Thanks for your response. Kaffe won't work for me as it is missing a few feature s that I need (most notable swing support is not up to snuff yet). Marc

Sun wants you to build it yourself, so that is what you will have to do. How do you jump to that conclusion from my email? No, never asked for that. Sorry, but this just sounds like you are complaining. What I was doing was asking for tips on getting linux emulation (more particularly, linux jdk binaries) working under openbsd. You should really send your grievences to sun, not openbsd misc. OpenBSD can't change Sun's licensing policies -- they can only abide by them. Maybe all of this hoop jumping will make you realize that using this language is a bad career move? that is laughable, especially considering sun's anouncement yesterday to GPL the entire java stack.

If you're getting paid to develop on this, a little phone bill shouldn't be that problematic, Right now I work for myself, out of my house; time and bandwith cost money which is hard to come by at this point. I'd also rather spend time on "learning" so I can save time the next time I come to a (similar) problem. and you've already wasted as much time here as it would have taken to download it in the first place. hardly, you obviously have no idea what downloading on dial-up is like, especially when other family members need to access the phone as well. If you're so set on using Linux JDKs, use Linux. That's what they are for. If you really want, use Linux under some emulator (qemu is in ports). The fact that NetBSD apparently does manage to run your JDKs doesn't necessarily mean it manages to run them reliably, either. You're missing the point entirely. I already had several jdks in linux, thought I could save some time / bandwith and use them through emulation on openbsd. Forget that I mentioned anything about netbsd, linux, etc. Thanks to the kind souls who offered suggestions or binary downloads. I will have access to high speed for a few hours in the near future, and will try downloading the source then.

pc enters unwanted "sleep" mode
My ports test machine exposes "interesting" new behaviour since
about two weeks: It enters some sort of power safe mode when
it is idle for some time: power led slowly blinks, screen goes
into powersafe, and off course the network no longer works.
APM is diabled in the bios, the machine never did this before,
so it might be related to some recent changes?
Any clues?

Most interesting ones seems to based upon Nvidia chipsets, but unfortunately they don't seem to be supported by OpenBSD. This heavily depends on what you use it for. We make good experiences with Geode based systems (like the Soekris 4801) as they are low power devices for router/firewall applications. They don't, however, have much CPU power, e.g. the 4801 board is clocked at 266 MHz. Nvidia bases devices tend to consume more power and thus heat up more. Off course, if you need a full fledged PC with VGA etc. these devices are not a choice. - Marc Balmer

firefox/lynx is extremely slow loading urls but not with IP's
Hello all, I'm connecting to the internet with a standard internet router using an ethernet cable and a very strange (to me!) thing is happening: [I have a windows system in the same computer and I can browse the internet without any problem (all pages load fast)] On my openbsd-amd64 system: My hostname.XXX file is configured with dhcp and /etc/netstart successfully assigns me a IP and writes the gateway to resolv.conf. "route -n show" also apparently shows the right thing: Internet: DestinationGatewayFlags Refs Use Mtu Prio Iface default192.168.1.1UGS1 1005 - 8 re0 127/8 127.0.0.1 UGRS 00 33160 8 lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 24 33160 4 lo0 192.168.1/24 link#2 UC 10 - 4 re0 192.168.1.1XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX UHLc 2 391 - 4 re0 192.168.1.60 127.0.0.1 UGHS 00 33160 8 lo0 224/4 127.0.0.1 URS00 33160 8 lo0 (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX masks the real value) All the values match the ones that windows also uses. BUT if I use firefox/lynx/konqueror I can open IP's fast BUT I CANNOT open any normal urls such as http://google.com in a reasonable period of time. It just takes a ridiculously huge amount of time: sometimes I have to wait 10min or so. I tried "traceroute http://google.com"; and it leads me to the correct IP very quickly, so apparently the nameserver is configured correctly. Can anybody point me out what might be happening or which diagnosis tools could help me figure it out? Thanks much in advance, marc
(bug?) slow internet: IPv6 was not detected and it didn't switch to IPv4
Hello, I've been struggling to make the internet run faster for a few days now... I was using a new network and it was ridiculously slow with OpenBSD but not with other OS. After reading similar reports on the internet, I solved it changing the firefox settings: about:config > network.dns.disableIPv6 I've read there is a cleaner solution adding "family inet4" to resolv.conf but I would prefer to add it as a parameter to the dhcp command in /etc/hostname.XXX.

obtaining openbsd.pbr from windows 7
Dear all, I was reading through the docs on how to boot openbsd with the windows 7 boot loader so I learned I have to execute: dd if=/dev/sd0a of=openbsd.pbr bs=512 count=1 but I can't do it: * If I do it from the existing openbsd in my drive, /dev/sd0a, I get device busy. * If I boot with the cd rom neither msdos nor ntfs are available so I can't write the .pbr file to an accessible place from windows. * If I boot with the cd rom and write the .pbr file in the bsd filesystem, I can't read it from windows 7 (I couldn't find a program to mount bsd filesystems which works with windows 7). Does anybody have a solution to any of these problems or a 4th way? Thanks marc
Re: obtaining openbsd.pbr from windows 7
Hi Janne,
Thanks a lot for your answer. I did read this section (actually subsection
'Windows 7') so I'm afraid I'm the only one getting it wrong...
I had the impression that the command:
< bcdedit /set {0154a872-3d41-11de-bd67-a7060316bbb1}
path \openbsd.pbr>>
requires that the openbsd.pbr file is at located at the root of c:\. Am I
wrong?
Thanks again,
Marc

First of all, thanks for all the feedback. (at FAQ 4.9) I still think that adding a note that rsd0 is the name of the raw character device associated to the device sd0 and that consequently you can find the correct parameter for dd in your system by adding an 'r' to the device listed in disklabel which is associated to /, would be useful to future illiterates like me.

Re: Like OpenBSD? Like to see new stuff happening? You really need to order a CD today :)
I'm late to read this thread but I just want to say I'm very grateful for all the work you've done, specially because you don't confuse me with business tricks. About business, I dont think you should expect people to be 'good', but I also think that when what you are doing makes good to people, it isn't that hard to make them feel uncomfortable. I would suggest making donation 'buttons' ominipresent when you navigate openbsd.org. Put it visible in places that people will need: download, documentation. For example, I'm quite on a budget but for example wikipedia.org completely got me. I use it so often that I couldn't read any more 'we need your donations' and ignore it when there was no more advertising on the site. My five cents, marc

Re: OT: Recommendations for a CMS?
Actually, I used to need a CMS for my former job, ended up going with Drupal. Not incredibly awful, especially since it's php. The design makes sense, it's actually reasonably clean, maintained, with lots of modules. And it *is* a CMS, as in you can have a full database of documents organized, and some interesting publishing tracks. (I went with drupal because I really needed to have custom roles, and neither wordpress nor joomla nor zope did what I needed, and the drupal code WAS actually cleaner). One major advantage over "do it yourself" html is that you don't have to deal with all the gooey stuff, like helping non technical people handle their jobs, since everything has a web interface. Now for the drawbacks: - there's a shitload of contributed modules. Sometimes it's hard to find the one you want. And they're not all the same quality. - every major version of drupal is a pain. They generally don't have any kind of same migration plan from version to version. Especially the user interface, which changed a lot, so you're often better off reimporting your data and starting the menu design from scratch.

Their security advisory list is fairly active, but apart from this bad boy, most of their CVE correspond to very specific cases of privilege escalation, with complicated administrative models (all those cases where you've given some users JUST some fairly comprehensive rights and don't want them to fully become root on the website)... so unless you're in that specific case, it is generally rather solid apart from that issue.

Re: A question of lock usage in OpenBSD kernel code
There are actually parts of style(9) that are frequently ignored. I just read over the 'declaring variables' and I'm puzzled. I don't do things that way. The "sorting by size" is from another era, especially when it contradicts itself by mixing up types and pointer to types, which is definitely not sorting by size. And I try to avoid declaring pointers and non-pointers variables on the same line, because it's fairly easy to misread, even when you know what you're doing. Initializing variables wherever it can be done directly as a constant is also something I do all the time.

Re: gtar: ambiguous package
We still ship a few packages with a static flavor, for the paranoid who wants a version that will work even if they manage to fuck up most of everything else on their system. I'll admit I find fewer and fewer valid use cases to these, as opposed to rebooting on bsd.rd and fixing things another way.
Re: A stupid question, re: xargs(1)
As Theo said already, the main issue there is that it's totally non-standard, so you end up writing scripts that won't work anywhere but on OpenBSD. The problem you're trying to solve is quoting in shell. It's basically broken by design. There will always be fun patterns in names that do various fun things in shell. the find -print0 / xargs -0 couple was designed to solve that problem a long time ago in one specific case. Yep, it does not play with filters in the middle. So what ? you can create a list with the specific case of *newlines* using lots of shell constructs e.g., find . | while read i; do ...; printf "$i\0"; done|xargs -0 is yet another way to skin this cat. In general, when I need to do this kind of things, I get a "scripting" language that doesn't have any of those issues, for instance perl.

Unless you have masochistic tendencies, use pkg_add. If you tailor ports to your own usage, you're very likely to end up with incompatible versions thanks to unnecessary tweaks. Oh, and you're also likely to kill your machine slowly, because it takes a lot of cpu. Most port builders these days (I mean developers being part of the project) use really fast machines in clusters to build ports. chromium took you 18 hours ? that's slightly less than the time I need to rebuild the full package collection. Think about it.

To sum up what I know: - WPA2 is still sound cryptographically; - there was no formal analysis of the protocol itself, in terms of exchanged messages; most everybody forgot that bugs in there can be as deadly as cryptographic error. - in some cases, you get some stuff to resend, but it should repeat the same thing, so not a bug per-se; - WPA2 strongly suggests zeroing memory areas that used to hold secrets. The common implementation error is to zero some memory areas holding secrets that you have to retransmit, thus leading to establishing a bunch of zeroes as an actual secret.

Don't get me wrong, playing with the ports tree is fun, but we have working packages, and it's often not worth the pain. Almost everyone uses the snapshots in production.

dhclient expects IPv4 address in dhclient.conf
Hi misc, dhclient hates me. I would like to prepend an IPv6 nameserver in the dhclient configuration on my router when connecting to my ISP, but dhclient gives me following error: em1: /etc/dhclient.conf line 17: expecting IPv4 address. em1: prepend domain-name-servers "::1" em1: ^ dhclient.conf ist plain simple: ~ $ grep -v "#" /etc/dhclient.conf supersede host-name "router"; prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; prepend domain-name-servers "::1"; Is this intended?

Actually, i would like to keep them as backup, when doing upgrades or the bind package is not working as expected. I will take a deeper dive into resolv.conf to have a look. I thought, that an /etc/resolv.conf.head file would do the trick, but it seems to be ignored on OpenBSD.

That's not done by default because you should make sure which packages you built yourself, traceability being important. You could also sign your own packages, which isn't that hard to do, though generally not that useful, especially since you can install them on the network thru a safe protocol (scp:// urls)

As someone pointed it out, it is in a proposal, improves things on several devices, and is harmless on others. You quite well know that the web evolves by practice first, and standardization later. We are talking about something that's currently already written, will likely become a standard in some months, and helps using tools. Why resist ?

More reports of the same thing are useless/counter-productive. We're reaching the point of diminishing returns where it takes longer to answer emails/classify failures into "already known/new"... ... which is a recipe for issues to fall between the cracks, because people WON'T report new issues, or they will be dismissed as the same as something that's already known...

The actual "readability limit" is around 60 signs for variable-width fonts, that's what you use in typography, conventionally, to decide whether you want two columns text or one column. Longer than that, it becomes for your eyes to reset to the correct start of line. I suspect that somewhat larger text on screen with fixed width fonts has a somewhat bigger threshold, nobody knows exactly which, the cursor probably helps a bit. 80 looks like a good compromise.

Chrome is a relative newcomer to browser land, and it was designed from the start from a security point of view, so it got a headstart there. The guys running the https part of google, even if we don't always agree with them, tend to try and make things more secure. Adam Langley's blog is fairly interesting. Niels Provos has done some nice work on the malware sites discovery part. It's been my understanding that firefox is finally catching up. Namely, they've put a reasonably secure architecture in place. And they are getting rid of their old large extension language to try and use the same architecture as chrome. The gap is much smaller than it was a year ago. In short, I feel that most of chrome's focus is on making things reasonably secure (as far as confidentiality and attacks go) so that people trust the browser, whereas firefox's focus is waaay more dispersed. Competition is good.

reminder: -current
If you want to run -current packages, *you must run a -current base snapshot*. In particular, there have been a *ton* of commits to the package tools over the last two months. Quite a few new-fangled features, which are pervasive in the ports tree, rely *heavily* on stuff that wasn't there 2 months ago, and wasn't working properly two weeks ago. If you mix-and-match, too bad. You lose.

As the other two said, check the cable. Both devices need to have the same media settings, ie autoneg turned on or off. If you just turn it off on the card, the switch maybe doesn't get it right and disables the port. If you turn out the autoneg on the card, do so on the switchport, too. The most common error is a broken cable or a "special" cable from a vendor with only 4 cable cores for 100MBit without pins 4/5 and 7/8. hth, marc

So, how is this actually a problem for the case at hand ? Is bleachbit so badly designed that it can't be made to work with fstat output ? If I understand your problem correctly, bleachbit is going to build a list of files it wants to remove, then try its best to check whether these files are actually in use by the system. There, inode/devno information is exactly what you need. You just need to coerce bleachbit into pairing that information correctly.

Our make is perfectly happy generating several targets with one rule.
The only thing we're actually missing wrt % is suffixes rules with multiple
results.
See any Makefile that generates .h and .c file from .y, for instance
lib/libkeynote/Makefile
a line like:
k.tab.c k.tab.h: keynote.y keynote.h signature.h
$(YACC.y) $(YACCFLAGS) ${.CURDIR}/keynote.y
looks exactly like what you want.
If you need to generate a fairly long list, .for loops and variables ought
to help you...

One small problem being that the cpan semantics for dependencies are less stringent than OpenBSD's, so you can't really distinguish between BUILD and RUN depends.

Philip, is that a rhetorical question ?
You know quite well it does.
There's code that looks at the target line for presence of $@, to
desambiguate multiple targets rules from "macro-like" behavior, and the
other targets get locked out while one target is built, so that in effect all
targets get updated at once.
Oh, and it's documented in the man page RTFM.
It was actually somebody from NetBSD (not remembering who) who pointed out
that make extended description in POSIX changed at some point to actually
allow for sane behavior wrt multiple targets.

It's a very bad idea anyway, especially security-wise, but also we switched to clang as a base compiler since, so there have been a lot of improvements. and bug-fixes. and issues fixed. There is no LTS on OpenBSD, by design. Security improvements move too much for that to make any sense. Upgrade. *especially* on 32 bit architectures with the cramped address space.
